Mu Zhiqiu

Chapter 50

After May Day, everything returned to normal.

In the evening, when Ziqiu was sweeping the floor with a broom, she found something that surprised her.

She ran downstairs and knocked hard on Lin Muchuan's door.

"Here we come." He was wearing a gray body shirt, which made his dark skin even more apparent.Standing at the door seemed to have been waiting for her, without any surprise.

"You're almost turning into charcoal!"

"Just come to me for this!"

"No! The grapes were eaten by you!"

"I grow it myself and eat it myself, can't I?"

"That's too much, I didn't even leave one of them."

"You didn't say you wanted to eat!"

"Is it tasty?"

“Very sweet!”

"Hey! Glutton!" After speaking, she was about to turn around and leave.

Lin Muchuan grabbed her arm and dragged her into the house.

"What?"

"What do you think!" Lin Muchuan pointed to a bowl of grapes on the dining table and looked at Ziqiu with a smile.

"Grapes!" Ziqiu picked up one and put it in his mouth.

"Why is it so sour!" He spit it out before he could swallow it.

"Waste of food!" Lin Muchuan handed her the tissue.

"Great disappointment! Could it be that I didn't raise it well? Is there less water? Or less nutrition!" She said regretfully looking at a bowl of green and translucent grapes.

"Maybe next year it will be fine! It's not used to the result yet! It's the first time after all!" Sitting on the sofa, Lin Muchuan stared at her intently.

"See what I'm doing? Don't eat, let's go!" Ziqiu looked into his eyes and couldn't help but panic.Better go first!

"Ziqiu!" When she opened the door, she heard Lin Muchuan calling her.

The moment she turned her head, Lin Muchuan who was standing behind her embraced her and kissed her on the mouth.

She looked into his deep eyes with panic, and ran upstairs with a blushing face.

Be sure to avoid him!avoid him!Ziqiu threw himself on the bed and remembered the scene just now, so nervous that his palms were sweating.

At the moment, she doesn't know how to start a new relationship.

Although Xu Yanmu was reluctant to let her go, he could not go back to the past after all.And this secret love that ended in a hurry made her feel at a loss. This was the light in the years that accompanied her for so long. Although it was faint, it was full of hope.

Now, it all seems to be over.Ziqiu didn't know how to start.

Since that day, she has been hiding from Lin Muchuan for five days!When I go out, I walk on tiptoe, afraid of hearing the sound of his door opening when I pass by his door.

You must go home on weekends, otherwise you won't be able to hide.

So, Saturday morning.When it was getting light, she set off.

The moment the train started, her hanging heart was finally at ease.

"Mom." She ran upstairs and pushed the door.Looking at the lonely figure of her mother sitting on the sofa, she began to blame herself in her heart, and burst into tears in an instant.

"Ziqiu! Why are you back? It's only been a few days!" Mom turned her face and looked at Ziqiu in surprise.

"Mom, mom! Why don't you want me to come back!" Ziqiu lay in her mother's arms and yelled over and over again.

"Silly girl. How could I miss you? I'm afraid you'll be tired! I'm tired of driving back and forth." Mom said while stroking Ziqiu's hair.

"Dong dong dong..." There was a knock on the door, who could this be?Ziqiu looked at his mother suspiciously.Mom also shook her head suspiciously.

"I'll open the door!" Ziqiu was startled when he pushed the door open!

It turned out to be Lin Muchuan standing at the door with big bags and small bags, smiling silly.

"You...what? You're here!" Ziqiu stammered.

"I'll take a look at Auntie!" Lin Muchuan walked into the room from the surprised gaze before, and put the things in his hand on the table.

"Muchuan, you are finally here! I also said when Ziqiu will take you home to see?" When the mother heard that it was Lin Muchuan, she hurriedly stood up from the sofa, walked forward and took Lin Muchuan's hand, and went back to Sitting on the sofa.

"Auntie, how are you?" Lin Muchuan said to her mother with a smile after glancing at the nervous Ziqiu.

"Next time you come, you are not allowed to bring anything. Just treat it as your own home!"

"Whose family!" Ziqiu's head was rumbling when he heard it.

"Don't talk, go get Mu Chuan a glass of water!" Mom hurriedly pulled her away.

"It's a little heartfelt." Lin Muchuan looked at Ziqiu provocatively and smiled.

"You two sit down, I'm going to buy vegetables. Mu Chuan! What do you like to eat? Auntie cooks for you. Girl Ziqiu, tell me earlier, so I can prepare in advance!" Mom scolded Ziqiu , said while going out with a smile.

"Auntie, you can eat whatever you want. I really have never eaten such a delicious dish." Lin Muchuan slicked out the words he had prepared in advance. Fortunately, he didn't stutter too much.

"Okay, let's talk slowly."

"Why are you here?" Ziqiu anxiously watched her mother go out, then turned to look at Lin Muchuan with frowning eyes.

"I want to eat the dishes made by my aunt!"

"real!"

"real!"

"You will die if you lie to me!" Ziqiu clenched his fists and waved in front of Lin Muchuan.

"It's so scary!" Lin Muchuan cooperated with her performance very much, showing a frightened look on his face.

Lin Muchuan walked around in Ziqiu's small room, trying to keep everything in his heart.

"What are you looking at? There's nothing to see! Now that you're here, let me take you shopping!" Ziqiu opened the door and went downstairs, riding on her old bicycle.

"That's a good idea. Get in the car!" Lin Muchuan pulled her off the car seat, and then rode on by himself.

Ziqiu took Lin Muchuan around the ancient town and bought her favorite slate glutinous rice cake.

"Try it!"

"Taste it..." Lin Muchuan took a big bite, his exaggerated expression made Ziqiu laugh out loud.

"Is it tasty?"

"Not bad! Another pack!"

"No money!"

"Then I'll eat next time!"

"That's enough, don't come when you've had enough!" Ziqiu took out his wallet from his bag and bought two copies.

"boarding!"

"Where else are you going?"

"You'll know when you come up."

"Make you look like the master!"

"Isn't it like?"

"Too lazy to tell you! Where are you going?"

"Take me to your alma mater!"

"Hey! One time is enough!"

"It sounds like you don't want to!"

"move!"

Lin Muchuan took her to see her alma mater together on a bicycle.

Coincidentally, this scene was seen by Xu Yanmu.

He stood on the side of the road and looked at Lin Muchuan who was riding a bicycle and Ziqiu who was smiling brightly in the back seat.The last bit of worry in his heart was over, what else could he not let go of!

Dinner was great.

After dinner, Ziqiu stayed with his mother.And Lin Muchuan lived in Ziqiu's room.

"Ziqiu, Mom thinks Lin Muchuan is pretty good. What about you?" Mom asked tentatively.

"Well, it's okay!" Ziqiu thought for a while, looked at his mother and said with a silly smile.

"He likes you!" Mom went on.

"Probably not!" Ziqiu said uncertainly, she was lying.

"Mom can't read it wrong!" Mom said while holding Ziqiu.

"But I..." Ziqiu hesitated to speak.

"I know you like Yanmu! But where is he? What is he doing? Married?" Mom said eagerly.

"Mom, Yanmu and I can't be together anymore!" Ziqiu said sadly.

"Silly boy, don't miss the person who likes you for the sake of the person who doesn't like you." Mom said distressedly.

"Mom, what about tongue twisters?" Ziqiu said with a smile.

"Let it be, I've done all the hard work that should be done. If it doesn't belong to you in the end, it won't belong to you after all." Mother said while holding Ziqiu's face.

"Mom, I love you!" She kissed her mother's forehead lightly.

"I love you too!" Mom stroked her forehead.

Ziqiu's tears flowed unconsciously.

Suddenly, she felt that the only person in the whole world she could rely on was her mother.Seeing her mother's white hair, Ziqiu felt guilty.How many days and nights in the past, the person who occupied my heart was not my mother.In the days to come, she will put her mother in the most important position.

The next morning, when the warm sunlight poured into Ziqiu's room from the window, she squinted her eyes and smiled.Let these bright lights take away years of sadness, she lazily hugged the pillow and stared blankly

And that night, Lin Muchuan was sleepless all night.He likes everything about her so much.

And that night, Xu Yanmu once again experienced the most painful time in his life.

Cousin Tang Aijia came to Tibet and told Xu Yanmu about his father's serious illness, and he came back from Tibet.It also happened to leave Ziqiu.He knew in his heart that he would not be with her, so he didn't tell her where to go?why leave.

After returning home, he looked at his father who was dying on the hospital bed and his mother who was haggard by the bed, and he didn't know how to speak.

Since his parents separated when he was three years old, he lived with his father and grandmother, while his elder sister went to other places with his mother.

His father was an engineer and he was a man of few words.In my impression, his father seldom communicated with his mother, and went to work in the study every day when he got home from get off work.

And his mother's personality is similar to that of his father. She is a teacher, but her personality is also relatively reserved.Her mother liked his father very much, and his father was also a good-looking talent when he was young.So his mother fell in love with his father at first sight.

However, one of the reasons for the tense relationship between his parents is that they got married in a hurry because they met on a blind date, which led to a lack of understanding.Although his mother tried her best to understand and ease the relationship between her and his father after marriage, his father always treated her dullly.

Of course, another important reason is that his father broke up with his first love helplessly.That woman went abroad and took Dad's best moments with him.Just like that, his mother couldn't get into his dad's heart, and his dad's heart couldn't get out either.

I remember one time during the Chinese New Year, it was the first time the denominators spent the holiday together after they separated.During the meal, she heard her mother mention the woman.He saw with his own eyes that his father patted his mother's face heavily with his palm.That was the first time he saw his father beat his mother.

At that time, he was still young, and was taken away by his sister who was two years older than him.I wandered outside for a long time before being found by my grandma.Since then, my parents have basically nothing to say.But my mother said that she wanted to keep the family, the family was her root, and the child was her life.She will not divorce, nor will she let that woman into the house.Unless she dies!

After his parents separated, it was difficult for Xu Yanmu to see his parents.After his grandmother passed away, he basically lived alone.But at this time Xiao Ruoran walked into his life, bringing her a different kind of warmth.

Later, my sister went abroad to study.After my mother retired, she traveled around and looked around.

He hadn't seen his mother for several years, but he didn't expect to see his mother by his father's side when he came back this time.

"Yanmu!" Mom came over and took his hand, and he felt a strange feeling.

"Mom!" He came back to his senses, took his mother's arm, walked to the hospital bed and held his father's hand.

"How is Dad?" Although he complained a little bit about his parents in his heart, it was replaced by full of sadness at the moment.

Mom hesitated to speak, tears welled up in her eyes.She put her hands over her mouth and turned her face away.

Xu Yanmu wanted to continue to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.He tightly held his father's thin palm covered with gray-brown spots, tears rolled in his eyes.For so many years, he didn't know how his father lived alone.After graduating from university, in order to be with Ruoran, he resolutely decided to go to Tibet, and this trip lasted for several years.And what he experienced in the past few years made him lose his passion for life.

Thinking of this, his heart was filled with sadness and guilt, and he couldn't help crying with his face covered.

"Yanmu, Dad's mouth moved. Come here, he has something to tell you." Yanmu's mother was crying, looking at the man she loved so much, she could only cry silently.

"Dad, I'm back!" Looking at Dad with his eyes closed, his hands were trembling.

"Father, open your eyes and look at the child, look at me! Even if you die, you still have to look at me! I'm still not as good as her after all, right? You hate me, you must hate me for not letting go. Yes Is it?" Yanmu's mother threw herself on the bed and cried loudly.

Yan Mu looked at his mother in pain, and he burst into tears.

"Mom, Mom." Yanmu couldn't bear to see his mother's appearance, so he hugged her into his arms and comforted her.

"Yanmu, I've been pestering your father all my life, but I still can't get into his heart after all." Mother was devastated.

"Mom, Dad loves you, and I love you too." Yanmu hugged his mother, trying to comfort her.

"He doesn't love me, he never did. His heart was given to that woman before I knew him." My mother was powerless, her eyes were blank, she sat on the ground and muttered to herself.

"Xu Haowen." Yanmu's mother straightened up suddenly, stood up, and said while holding Yanmu's father's hand.

"Haowen, if I let go earlier, would you be happy? Have you always hated me and blamed me, Haowen, talk!"

"Mom!" At this moment, Yanmu didn't know how to comfort his mother.

"Mom, Dad opened his eyes." Yan Mu watched his father's eyes slowly open, looked at Yan Mu with a weak corner of the eye, and turned to look at his wife who was suffering beside him.

He blinked and moved his lips, trying to speak but unable to.

"Dad!" Yan Mu hurried over to grab his hand.

"Haowen." Yanmu's mother held his other hand tightly.

This haggard, gray-haired old man looked at the two closest people around him with teary eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.Yes, he is laughing.Those long years, whether sad or happy, whether you love it or not, whether you gain or lose, now it seems like a passing cloud.

The night was eerily silent.

"Iwaki, mom is hungry, buy me something to eat."

"What to eat?"

"All right!"

"it is good."

After a while, Yanmu returned to the ward with dumplings in his hand. This is the dumpling that his parents love most.

Pushing open the door, he saw his mother holding his father's hand, closing his eyes, and leaning against each other quietly, looking so warm.

At that moment, his eyes were red.

"Mom, I'm eating dumplings!" He walked over gently and whispered in his mother's ear.

"Mom!" He felt something was wrong and shook it vigorously.

"Mom! Dad! Doctor!" He rushed out suddenly to find the doctor.

An hour later, the door of the rescue room was pushed open.

"Unfortunately, your father has passed away. And your mother has heart disease and high blood pressure, and the rescue is ineffective. Please mourn." The doctor said regretfully.
